Abstract: A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication unit, for wirelessly transmitting and/or receiving V2X signals comprising data in a vehicle, includes a plurality of V2X modules. Each respective V2X module is connected to at least one antenna configured to transmit and/or receive the V2X signals in a transmission and reception area. Each respective V2X module comprises at least a transmitting unit configured to modulate data to be transmitted via the V2X signals, and/or a receiving unit configured to demodulate data received via the V2X signals. Each V2X module includes a data interface configured to transmit the data to be transmitted and/or the data received via the V2X signal and a logic module. The plurality of V2X modules includes at least two spatially separated V2X modules. The logic module is configured to link the at least two V2X modules in such a way that a logical unit is configured.

Abstract: A control arrangement for adjusting a desired distance between two vehicles includes a distance regulation system having a distance control device configured to adjust a first desired distance between a subject vehicle and a vehicle ahead depending on sensor signals received from a sensor system by requesting a first subject vehicle desired acceleration. The control arrangement further includes a communication system configured to wirelessly send and receive a surroundings data signal. The surroundings data signal contains surroundings information. The control arrangement additionally includes an assistance control device configured to determine a second desired distance between the subject vehicle and the vehicle ahead and a second subject vehicle desired acceleration for adjusting the second desired distance depending on the surroundings information received from the communication system. The distance control system comprises an ACC interface.

Abstract: A method for establishing a wireless data link between at least two vehicles which are connected to one another via a physical data link includes transmitting link parameters of the wireless link via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles and establishing the wireless link using the link parameters transmitted via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles.

Abstract: A vehicle network for a plurality of interconnected vehicles is disclosed. The network is in the form of a WLAN and has at least two access points. The access points are interconnected in a wireless manner, i.e., without using a wired backbone. Each access point uses the same radio network ID, so all access points form only one single visible network for WLAN clients. A method for establishing the vehicle network is also disclosed.

Abstract: An information processing architecture for implementation in a vehicle includes a software segregation unit which is configured to provide a first security domain and a second security domain which are assigned in each case to different operational areas of the vehicle and have their own data processing environments which are segregated from one another to run a multiplicity of computer applications. The software segregation unit is further configured to provide a synchronization instance, wherein the synchronization instance has a central dataset which is synchronized with data generated in the respective security domains independently from one another via data exchange and is selectively readable by both security domains.

Abstract: A method for establishing a wireless network for a vehicle is provided herein. The vehicle comprises a tractor unit and a trailer. The tractor unit comprises at least one first station and a first control unit and the trailer comprises a second station and a second control unit. The method comprises supplying electrical energy to the second control unit. The method further comprises interconnecting the first control unit and the second control unit via a physical interface. The method further comprises generating a defined message by the second control unit and receiving the defined message by the first control unit via the physical interface. The method further comprises transmitting information required to establish the wireless network via the first station only when the defined message is present in the first station.

Abstract: A method for establishing a wireless data link between at least two vehicles which are connected to one another via a physical data link includes transmitting link parameters of the wireless link via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles and establishing the wireless link using the link parameters transmitted via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the vehicle surroundings (U) of a vehicle combination (1), in particular utility vehicle combination (1), composed of a traction vehicle (2) and at least one trailer (3) using a monitoring system with a camera (11), having at least the following steps:—defining a monitoring space (13) within a capture range (12) of the camera (11), wherein the monitoring system monitors only the monitoring space (13) for critical objects which can give rise to a collision probability, wherein the monitoring space (13) is defined and oriented in such a way that the vehicle surroundings (U) are located at least partially in the monitoring space (13), and at the same time the vehicle combination (1) is not located in the monitoring space (13), wherein for this purpose—a variable (?, ?) which characterizes the orientation between the traction vehicle (2) and the trailer (3) is acquired; and—a manipulated variable (?) is determined as a function thereof, with which method the monito
